Which?
Perhaps you dressed and made the effort
To go to Church today because you feel an inner need for strength along the way.
You probably found an inspiration
From the service and the songs
And realized that you found something
For which you tired heart longs
But was your faith left on the seat
When you stepped from the pew
Or do you plan to keep it working
All week in what you do?

My thoughts and prayers are with the Acker family in the loss of your mom and grandmother. I have such wonderful fond memories of Mrs. Acker not only as secretary at Nathaniel Hawthorne but as the mother of long time friend and school mate, Katherine. May you feel the Lord's presence and comfort during this time and just rejoice in knowing she is in with our Lord at this very moment.

To the most kind, loving and devoted Grandmother in the world; I love you so much and can't express enough gratitude for the years of unconditional love and endless hours of time you spent with my sister and I. Your ability express love to anyone was truly a gift that I will always admire. I will always cherish the memories I have of the time I spent with you.

Bobby and Susan Acker, I am so sorry about the passing of Marie. She was a dear friend while I was a member at Colonial. Know that my prayers are with you at this sad time. I remember her delicious chocolate cakes.

Marie,
As long as I live, I will never forget you. The love and concern you shared with young people at Colonial after the loss of John. You loved us as a mother loves her own child - unconditionally.
Rest easy until we meet again.
